Europe has sung that song, off and since the 1920 presidential Right now the chorus is being raised with renewed vigor, and many honest Americans thereby are being made to.

feel sorrowful. Admittedly the league is in a bad way. Admittedly, also, the United States has never climbed on the league bandwagon. Is the second of these tw.o facts responsible for the first? It was our own Secretary of State Stimson who called on the league for action some four or five years ago, when Japan was marching into Manchukuo in defiance of a whole armful of treaties. Here was an ideal case for league action; here, too, the United States was not only willing, but anxious, to co-operate.

So what happened? The French and the English, those high-souled believers in the sanctity of treaties and the beauties of collective action against aggressor states, simply couldn't be bothered. They looked the other way so pointedly that our Mr. Stimson was left 'way out on a limb, to his vast embarrassment. The Japanese ahead with their program-as unhampered by collective action as if the league had never been invented. A few years passed and Mussolini sent his troops into Ethiopia.

This time England suddenly awoke to the need for collective being in the back yard-of a private English demanded action. The French couldn't see it. They might need Mussolini, later on; so they approached the council table with all the reluctance of a country bridegroom at a shotgun wedding, and the upshot was that Mussolini had his way. More recently, German troops marched into the Rhineland. This time 'it was France which suddenly discovered the sanctity of treaties and the need for international action, and the British who displayed a coy shyness in the matter.

While the argument went the Germans kept on marching. As before, the result was a complete lack of action. It is against this background that European statesmen and publicists are beginning once more to accuse the United States of wrecking the league by refusing to play-its proper part. It would be tragic if, any American were foojed this'kind of-talk. The league has failed in its great appprtunities because the English and the French have sought to use it, not as an instrument for keeping the peace, but as a means of advancing their own national If the league is not what it might have been, they can blame their own selfishness.

The Quota Of Immigration A measure is before the senate which would allow aliens who have lived in the United States for ten years to remain here, if they have not committed a crime. There is a dangerous policy involved in that scheme. It puts a premium on the alien's ability to slip across our borders and keep out of the clutches of immigration authorities for ten years. If he did that, under the proposed plan, he could not be deported. During the last century, we welcomed one and all to our shores.

Now, as the country filled up, we have become less open in our invitation to the world. Within limits, we still invite the fit, and those who have ability to support themselves and to keep up the American standard of living. We regulate this flow, however, by the quota system. This is flexible, and subject to change as economic conditions additional 1 consideration to aliens should be given thru the legalized quota plan, rather than by dangling the prize of permanent residence for those who can escape detection within our borders for ten years.

"1 don't want to be out of breath when 1 get there." The taxi drew her up before the Green Club some minutes before 3. But Julia paid the driver hurriedly and walked briskly into the build ing. She had managed to screw her courage to the sticking point, and she wanted to face Henri Lamb while It was still there.
